Talk about a whirlwind weekend! Jay DeMarcus was in Detroit getting ready for a Friday night (July 20th) performance with his Rascal Flatts band mates when he got the call to come home to Nashville — fast! The musician hopped a plane and arrived just in time to help wife Allison welcome their son DylanJay to the world. Then DeMarcus flew back to Detroit to finish off the show — still in his scrubs! DeMarcus Tweeted the happy news the next day, saying, “Thanks everyone for all the well wishes!! Dylan Jay was born yesterday at 4:02pm.. He’s gorgeous, just like his dad.” DeMarcus will have a few days to spend with Allison, their newest arrival, and 19-month-old daughter MadelineLeigh before heading back out on tour.

Rascal Flatts bassist Jay Demarcus is expanding his family! The musician recently tweeted that he and wife Allison are expecting a little brother or sister for 13-month-old daughter MadelineLeigh. “Alright y’all,” he wrote, “Ali and I have baby number two on the way!! Huge surprise but we’re very excited!!” Baby-to-be is expected to arrive this summer.
